Clippers Vs. Wizards Official Game Thread 2013-12-14

The Los Angeles Clippers have played their best basketball against fellow members of the Western Conference. Surprisingly, it's been the far inferior Eastern Conference that most of their troubles have come against.
Los Angeles will try to return to the .500 mark against the East when it wraps up a seven-game trip Saturday night against the Washington Wizards.
The Clippers (15-9) are 3-3 on their trip after a 102-93 loss in Brooklyn on Thursday dropped them to 5-6 against the East. Meanwhile, they're a strong 10-3 against the West, which boasts nine other teams sitting at....

Well I don't know what to expect really. If we can get some movement in our offense and get to normal level of shot percentages would should win.

The Wizards played last night and it went into OT so they could be tired.

^ I don't either. Playing an inferior team again so it will be tough to win. The scary part is the stat of them being 4-1 after playing the night before. PLEASE no 3 point brick-a-thon

I think we win tonight after such an embarrassment last game. CP and Blake will play well and maybe the shooters will even make a few shots.

Scary game- these guys can bomb from deep. Unfortunately, the Clippers can't seem to right now to match. So if the guys don't get a bunch of layups & don't defend well, it could get ugly.

Wiz lost in OT on the road last night. They'll be tired in the 4th. We got this.

If it's any consolation, as good as we were last year, we also lost to Cleveland (but at home), at Atlanta and at Brooklyn. So these losses don't seem to be that far removed from last season. Hopefully, we win tonight and find our way soon.

Willie Green gets yanked from the starting lineup and now Jamal gets the start! Will wasn't even shooting 30% so I can understand why the move was made! Opinions?

Jamal should have started all along once JJ was hurt

This team will only truly contend when we start challenging our best players for more. I know jamal is defensively challenged but he is a vet and one of our best players. You put him out there and challenge him that we need him on BOTH ends until we get healthy.

Clippers -4. The way the team is playing a lost won't be unexpected, but I'll hope for a win.

This team needs to come out of the gate firing on all 8,I like the move,worth a shot. Willie is a good backup and proved his worth last year,but we need to get out of the doldrums.

When their road trip started you can go back to the first game and see I said we would go 3-4. I want to be wrong so badly.

I hope with Jamal starting this game, it'll be the spark to ignite their offense. Hoping for a win, but bracing for a loss to avoid further disappointment.

Jared Dudley off to a great start. Perhaps all he needed was his Twitter confession to blow off the pressure, lol.

Stak is still a little bit rusty but I believe that 6 or 7 games from now he'll be moving better.

Willie really can't shoot off screens. He needs to stay stationary and then shoot

Yup that was a good move by Doc Rivers putting Jamal into the starting lineup. Willie seems to be feeling too much pressure w/ the starters. Also it helps to finally get some good contribution from Dudley.

Great block by Blake, who then sprints the other way for a layup- nice find Dudley!

It is helpful. Our offense depends on guys making shots, moving the ball.
